Roles (user, moderator, administrator) from the CLI and /clientapi/admin/roots/{id}/role, never one's own nor the last
administrator. Silence keeps an account's posts out of public timelines, hashtags, trends, search and relays while its
followers still get them; suspension refuses and revokes a local persona's tokens, answers 404 for its posts and
collections, holds back every delivery and tells other servers nothing new, its actor unchanged; a suspended remote
account's activities are dropped and nothing goes to its own inbox (a shared one still serves its server). A banned
login's personas are held back in memory alone (Restrictions), so nothing pairs them in stored data. Personas and groups
are deleted one at a time (PersonaRemoval, GroupRemoval), by their login or an administrator with the password. Reports
resolve with an action and a note; posts are taken down, a remote copy hidden. Warnings reach the persona as Mastodon's
moderation_warning. Every staff act goes to the staff's log. Migration _020 limits posts from servers already silenced;
a restore keeps the moderation made since the backup.
Verified: interop.sh moderation gts mastodon with SecureMode, 194 passed; restore.sh, 25 passed, now with a suspension,
a silence and a takedown made after the backup.

tools/pasture/scenarios/restore.sh backs the pasture up from the administrator's endpoint, then alice_restore deletes a
post and makes another, mastouser follows her, she blocks bob_restore and carol_restore is made; the restore, asked for
from the endpoint, keeps every protective act (19 checks). town.sh renew <peer> signs a peer's town accounts in again,
since a restore ends every session.
It found that a backup listed media files already missing when it was made, so verifying it failed and the restore was
refused: a manifest now lists only the files it holds (refusals are cut to five lines). And a local post made after the
backup now comes back as a deleted row, as a deletion leaves it, so it answers 410 and its id is never given again;
DeletedObject holds remote tombstones only.
